Java method extraction refactoring for improved readability and maintainability.
What it does
- First, analyze each method and identify those exceeding thresholds:
- LOC (Lines of Code) > 15
- NOM (Number of Statements) > 10
- CC (Cyclomatic Complexity) > 10
- For each qualifying method, identify code blocks that can be extracted into separate methods.
- Extract at least one new method with a descriptive name.
- Output only the refactored code inside a single java block.
